Graham, Kathleen, thank you for making these. Also thank you for giving me knowledge of the Japan webcams, although searching Japanese webcam brought up the wrong kind of pages. And Kathleen, you have a man who listened to you, rembered what you said, and did something related to what he thought was important to you, you better NEVER leave him! And Graham, you found someone who can put up with you, don't lose her!
Interesting Lake Biwa fact: Lake Biwa was the inspiration for the Lake of Rage, in Pokemon Gold and Silver, where Team Rocket was forcing Magikarps to evolve into angry, rampaging Graydoses. It occupies roughly the same position on the in-game map as lake Biwa occupies in the Kansai region.
Thank you guys for sharing these videos with us! They are well filmed and well edited and i just love them so much! Can't wait for next weeks video :) keep em' coming Graham
I have to echo some of the other comments: this series is really fun to watch! I'm traveling vicariously through you two and there's humor to boot. I wish I could like all the videos twice.
2 years too late, but I recently had a trip to Osaka, Kyoto, and Tokyo (and South Korea). I love the sites you visited! There are soooo many shrines (mostly Shinto) in Kyoto! I wish I had more time to see them all. I love to see all the places I missed, and 1 or 2 I made it too. Thank-you for cataloging you visit! Also, 7-11 is truly the real deal there!
Haha I love the hitting head segment. Like Graham kept hitting his head and then yelled, where's my camera! Donk! Where's my camera?? Donk! Waars mah camruh... I think I have a concussion. lol
With you on the onigiri. plus, being ACTUAL food (not junk) it was qiite filling. only one needed to be, not full, but okay. I miss them so much for luch, I just bought a mold to be able to take some to work/uni. Lawson ones were better than Family Mart imo.
I went to look up "maruhana bee" on Google out of curiosity, and maybe it's the fact that I'm from the Okanagan Valley, but it asked if I meant "marijuana buy"... Oh my
My experience there a decade ago (week long student exchange, thus homestay, with a family that also happened to be well off. Pro-tip: when applying for school exchange homestays, express an interest in golf) was that convenience stores work like small supermarkets. That is, it's not at all unusual to go there for supplemental groceries, or to pick up something quick for dinner.
Nah, it's actually pretty good. If you wanna eat for real cheap and sick of eating yoshinoya (why would you be though yoshinoya is delicious) it's a real good place to get some grub. I used to buy a couple of onigiri at the local 7/11 whenever I had long train rides.

This is an amazing series, I'm looking forward to every new episode!

I replayed Graham's reaction to the Lake Biwa story over and over and it's friggin' hilarious... :-D

New LRR series: things conveniently located for Graham to hit his head
Or a really weird installment of Things on My Head.
X ways to Y?
Oh God, Graham going into the bathroom... Nonononono, so claustrophobic!
love this so far
That dying subway gong would make an excellent leitmotif for a horror game.
Love this series, makes me want to go to Japan in the future. Also, I'm 6'6"~, so I'm curious to see what it's like to be that tall in Japan.
"Where I hit my head" series is actually quite hilarious. For another tall person at least
Graham, fun to see you channeling some serious ZeFrank vibes with "the places I hit my head." Made me smile.
Sounds like you had Tsukemen (or dipping noodles) at the Ramen place.
That subway gong sounds like something Boards of Canada would make/sample.
You passed the place where I bought my glasses at 4:49! :D
I love you guys.
It's almost as though they took the "convenience" part of "convenience store" seriously.
I think they take the "food"-part in "convenience food" seriously.
You know the bus system is better than the rail system...right?
Heh, Daitoku-ji was like 600m from my apartment. I walked through it at midnight once.

I half expected the phrase "It's quiet here" to be followed by someone tripping off-camera and loudly yelling "Shit!"
G&K these videos are great. I feel like my vlogs will be more inspired.
I would, no joke, donate to a kickstarter to fund more of these.
I need to know what that octopus candy thing tasted like. Sweet? Fishy?
I found that sometimes the "wing it" days can be cool.
Please note the mistake of shoes.
Probably.
This made me google "worlds biggest bee" and now I can't sleep.
The Tako Tamago: was it legit mini octopuses with an egg glaze or was it some other foodstuff in an octopus shape?
Google says: What is it? Literally, it's a baby octopus with a quail egg inside, candied and skewered.
I am not a big person, but was treated like a giant. I hit my head several times.
Is there going to be another Phaulhaus style "ha-ha you watched our vacation" catch up episode?
I legit love this series. Also, damn I don't know how I'd fare using that tiny bathroom (I'm probably only slightly bigger than Graham) haha
What kind of sauce watthat Octo cooked in? I.E what did it taste like?
Iceland has webcams too
11:08 You saw a big bee which fucks? :P
Greetings from your German Fanbase :D Sprechen sie Deutsch ;D
7-11 sandwiches kick ass.
One of the biggest things that turns me off of Japan are those Hornets I've read up... o.O
But otherwise, this all looks super cool. :D
A friend reckoned he could live off 7/11 food in Japan due to much higher standards.
I went to look up "maruhana bee" on Google out of curiosity, and maybe it's the fact that I'm from the Okanagan Valley, but it asked if I meant "marijuana buy"... Oh my
oh you had tsukemen style ramen
Tsukemen so gooooooood. :)
How do I submit to the askLRR?
and they were never seen again
WAWA food is pretty good
I can't help but feel the cult's sales line would sound better in japanese.
It was a Capitol Bee
Buy some Japanese magic cards
I got the 10th view..... What do I win?
A one way journey tooooo noooo were
Jacob B SWEET!
No that's for the 9th view. 10th view gets an all expense paid by the winner trip to japan's cat island!
Tai Chanie Purrfect!...........sorry, I had to
Maybe Japanese convenient store food IS crap, but it's not-crap compared to crap-crap people get in other countries :p
Nah, I think managers and employees just actually care about good service in Japan
